best breakup songs

[cashmoney]

My favorite song right after I leave a girl is:


Whoe Just Go---Jam Pony Express (might be the players anthem)


I used to think it helped me see women for what they are, it was the same song that I had playing in my car while my high school girlfriends gave me head. It was so funny to see the look on their faces when they actually listen to the lyrics.

[DigitalAngel126]

As others have said...EAMON. Bar none.

Does anyone remember that Goldfinger song - "Counting the Days" - from back in the early 90s or so?

I just heard it and realized I had to post it here, too.

So here I go and there you went...again
Just another stupid thing that I done wrong.
Locked up in my head, knocked down, beaten, left for dead
With all those brilliant things I should have said.
I gotta get away, and find something to do
'Cause everything I hear, everything I see, reminds me of you.

Still counting the days I've been without you 1, 2, 3, 4...
Still counting the days that you've been gone.

Day one, was no fun.
Day two, i hated you.
By day three I wish you'd come right back to me.
Day four, five and six, well I guess you just don't give a shit.
Day seven, this is hell. this is hell.
I gotta get away, and find something to do.
But everything I hear, everything I see, reminds me of you.

Still counting the days I've been without you 1, 2, 3, 4...
Still counting the days that you've been gone.
Still counting the days since you left me. 1,2,3,4...
Still counting the days since you've been gone.

A thousand things I wanna say to you, but it's too late now.
A thousand things I wanna say...
A thousand things I wanna say to you, but it's too late now.
A thousand things I wanna say...

Still counting the days I've been without you.
Still counting the days that you've been gone.
Still counting the days I've been without you 1, 2, 3, 4...
Still counting the days that you've been gone.
Still counting the days since you left me 1, 2, 3, 4...
Still counting the days that you've been gone.
Gone...
Gone...
Gone...
Gone...

Sororitygirl, that just made me cry. Great song though, and currently very appropriate.

[Sister Havana]

Here's another one:

"Good" - Better than Ezra

Looking around the house.
Hidden behind the window and the door.
Searching for signs of life but there's nobody home.

Well, maybe I'm just too sure.
Maybe I'm just too frightened
By the sound of it.
Pieces of note fall down, but the letter said,

Aha, it was good living with you.
Aha, it was good.
Aha, it was good living with you.
Aha, it was good.

Sitting around the house,
Watching the sun trace shadows on the floor.
Searching for signs of life, but there's nobody home.

Well, maybe I'll call
Or write you a letter.
Now, maybe we'll see on the Fourth of July.
But I'm not too sure, and I'm not too proud.
Well, I'm not too sure and I'm not too proud to say.

Aha, it was good living with you.
Aha, it was good.
Aha, it was good living with you.
Aha, it was good.

{spoken:}
Yeah, you were so good. yeah you were so good, yeah that's right...

[DigitalAngel126]

Part of an Usher song that's good in certain situations:

"Burn"

[Intro]
I don't understand why
See it's burning me to hold onto this
I know this is something I gotta do
But that don't mean I want to
What I'm trying to say is that I-love-you I just
I feel like this is coming to an end
And its better for me to let it go now than hold on and hurt you
I gotta let it burn

[Verse 1]
It's gonna burn for me to say this
But it's comin from my heart
It's been a long time coming
But we done been fell apart
Really wanna work this out
But I don't think you're gonna change
I do but you don't
Think it's best we go our separate ways
Tell me why I should stay in this relationship
When I'm hurting baby, I ain't happy baby
Plus theres so many other things I gotta deal with
I think that you should let it burn

[DigitalAngel126]

Another good one - - Aaliyah


"Heartbroken"

Baby Baby Baby...... I Wanna Satisfy You.
Maybe I Try Too Damn Hard, To Show You I Love You.
What Made You Go And Run This Game On Me?
When I Stayed By Your Side,
What Made You Go And Leave?

Im Tired Of My Heart..... Being Broken.
Im Tired Of These Tears..... Falling Down My Face.
Im Tired Of This Love..... Being Taken For Granted.(Wont You Go Your Way)

You Dont Know, How I Feel..... Im For Real.
I Used To Be In Love,...... But Not Nomore.
When Will You Learn That I Got Feelings Too?
You'll Never Know Untill It Happens To You.

Im Tired Of My Heart..... Being Broken.
Im Tired Of These Tears..... Falling Down My Face.
Im Tired Of This Love..... Being Taken For Granted.(Wont You Go Your Way)

Theres One Thing I Gotta Ask of You,
One Thing, Gotta Ask Of You (Gotta Ask Of You)
If This Is True (True)
Why You Took Your Love Away?
Why You Took Your Love Away, From Meeee
Theres One Thing I Gotta Ask of You,
One Thing, Gotta Ask Of You (Gotta Ask Of You)
If This Is True (True)
Why You Took Your Love Away?(Whyyyyy)

Im Tired Of My Heart..... Being Broken.

I *heart* Aaliyah.

Gave you chances on top of chances
Opportunities taken for granted
My reality is all your exshalities
Cause insanity
Why you askin'me?
Took my kindness for a sign of weakness
My own blindness cause my sadness
No longer am a slave over your madness
I am glad it's finally over

[DigitalAngel126]

Last post on this thread tonight. Promise.

More Aaliyah.


"I Refuse"

This Is Where I've Got To Draw The Line
Cause I Refuse To Let You Think You Can Play With My Mind
Always Seems That You Think That I'm Blind
Causes There Always Certain Times When Your Hard To Find
Your On The Go, I'm On The Go, Were On The Go
I Can't Catch You No More, Can't See You No More
And It No Longer Can Be Ignored
Cause At Once Upon A Time It Was You I Adored
You Disappeared And Left Me Here, Out In The Cold
And The Absence Of You Is Hurting My Soul
Didn't Know There Was An End Of The Road
It Was So Easy For You Just To Let It All Go

And I Refuse,
I Refuse To Have One More Sleepless Night
I Refuse,
I Refuse To Let A Tear Fall From My Eye
I Refuse,
I Refuse To Continue To Try
I Felt Like I Would Die, If I Could Breakdown And Cry
And I Refuse,
I Refuse To Let You Walk Back Through That Door
I Refuse,
I Refuse To Let You Hurt Me Anymore
And I Refuse,
I Refuse To Continue To Ignore
The Fact I Fell To The Floor, The Day You Walked Out My Door



And lastly..
"Never Comin' Back"

[Intro]
How Yall Doin Out There Tonight?
Yes, I Love You Too.
I Just Wanna Talk To The Ladies Tonight.
For All You Ladies, That Done Had Your Heart Broken,
I Done Had My Heart Broken To, So I Can Relate, Ya Know.
So If Its OK Wit You, Im Just Gonna Break It Down For The Fellas,
That Dont Know That They Cant Just Break A Womens Heart.
Alright? So Check It Out.

I Gave You All Of My Love..... All To You.
And You Dont Appreciate The Things That I Do.
I Gave You All Of My Time..... Cause You Blew My Mind.
I Let You Do Me Wrong, Cause Love Had Me So Blind.

I Was So Strong, But Im All Grown Up 'N',
Im Dumb By Love 'N', I Used To Love You.
You Tried To Play Me And Then Persuede me.
I Still Remember The Pain You Gave Me.
I Cant Believe You, I Gotta Leave You.
Im Packin Up 'N' You Can Hit The Road Jack.
You Can Take These Things That You Gave Me,
Cause Im Never Comin Back.

All I Wanted..... Was A Little Love.
But You Chose To Hang Out All Night With The Boys.
So What Are You Saying?(Quit Wasting My Time)
Trying To Claim Something That Aint Even Mine.

I Was So Strong, But Im All Grown Up 'N',
Im Dumb By Love 'N', I Used To Love You.
You Tried To Play Me And Then Persuede me.
I Still Remember The Pain You Gave Me.
I Cant Believe You, I Gotta Leave You.
Im Packin Up 'N' You Can Hit The Road Jack.
You Can Take These Things That You Gave Me,
Cause Im Never Comin Back.

Why You Hurt Me? [Echo]
Why You Hurting Me So Bad?
Gave You My Time, You Played With My Mind.
Why You Wanna Make Me Sad?
[Repeat]

Here's a break-up.. or soon-to-be-broken-up type song..

Insensitive by Jan Arden

How do you cool your lips,
after a summer's kiss?
How do you rid the sweat,
after the body bliss?
How do you turn your eyes,
from the romantic glare?
How do you block the sound of a voice,
you'd know anywhere?
Oh, I really should have known by the time you drove me home,
by the vagueness in your eyes, casual good-byes,
by the chill in your embrace, the expression on your face
that told me you might have
some advice to give, on how to be
insensitive
How do you numb your skin,
after the warmest touch?
How do you slow your blood,
after the body rush?
How do you free your soul,
after you've found a friend?
How do you teach your heart,
its a crime to fall in love again?
Oh, you probably won't remember me,
its probably ancient history.
I'm one of the chosen few
who went ahead and fell for you.
I'm out of vogue, I'm out of touch,
I fell too fast, I feel too much.
I thought that you might have
some advice to give, on how to be
insensitive.


Today My World Slipped Away
George Strait

We made it final today
I gave you all I had, you made your get-away
all the love we once made
turned to memories today

I left the courtroom
and went straight to the church
I hit my knees and told God how much I hurt
there's nothing left of my heart
it's going to be so hard to make a new start

'Cause today my world slipped away
we buried the plans that we made
and tonight I'm alone and afraid
'cause today my world slipped away

All my friends say I'll make it alright
I'll recover and start a new life
but that'll be so hard to do
'cause livin' ain't worth livin' without you

'Cause today my world slipped away
we buried the plans that we made
and tonight I'm alone and afraid
'cause today my world slipped away

'Cause today my world slipped away


ETA: Because I rock at the HTML thing.. :P

[PlymouthDZ]
